Is it a bird... is it a plane.... or maybe a UFO?

12:19pm Thu 30th Apr 09:: written by Dan Darlington


A flurry of glowing orange lights were spotted drifting across the sky in Marlow last night by amateur photographer Simon Fielder. 

The music composer and wildlife photographer, who lives in Marlow, saw the strange balloon shaped orbs float in perfect symmetry across the night sky at about 10pm. 

The 37-year-old took out his small 18-70 mm lens camera and managed to snap an image of the elongated objects floating about 800 feet above his head. 

Chinese lanterns released from private parties or wedding receptions are often responsible for UFO sightings, but Mr Fielder insists the lights were moving in perfect formation and at great speed. 

"This wasn't a lantern being blown on the breeze, it wasn't rocking like a fisherman's ship," he said.
"These were four or five lights travelling in perfect symmetry at about 30 mph. 

"One of the lights even appeared to stop and hover for a while before rejoining the line.
"They were close to the ground but didn't make a sound."

He added: "There must be a logical explanation, but it just struck me as being rather odd."

  • If these are alien controlled UFOs and they are trying to grab our attention then it is a very great pity that they seem to have an overwhelming preference for projecting orange light. Every sighting of such orange orb UFOs is now dismissed as being due to Chinese lanterns, of course. But, who knows, maybe that suits their purposes.Ian
